To assist scientists and others seeking to conduct a search for alternatives methods. 2. To serve as a CRPcentral reference pointfor alternatives information, publications, databases, calendars, and other resources. 3. To support the creation and maintenance of new alternative resources as needed, when no other organization can/will do so. 4. To promote the use of alternatives resources by publicizing them on the site and through e-mail or other outreach. 5. To facilitate communication and collaboration among members of the alternatives community, in particular those who work in database or information management.

It is a specialized research center supported by the Protein Structure Initiative (PSI) of the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), one of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). PSI is a federal, university, and industry effort aimed at dramatically reducing the costs and lessening the time it takes to determine a three-dimensional protein structure. The long-range goal of PSI is to solve 10,000 protein structures in 10 years and to make the three-dimensional atomic-level structures of most proteins easily obtainable from knowledge of their corresponding DNA sequences. CESG is located within the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (Madison, WI) and the Department of Biochemistry at the Medical College of Wisconsin (Milwaukee, WI). CESG develops new methods and technologies to address unique eukaryotic bottlenecks and disseminates its methodologies and experimental results to the scientific community worldwide through: :- Cell-Free Protein Production Workshops :- Plasmids at PSI Materials Repository :- Posters Presented at Scientific Meetings :- Publications in PubMed / PubMed Central :- Sesame (LIMS) Available for Researchers :- Solved Structures in the Protein Data Bank :- Technology Dissemination Reports They have welcomed requests by researchers to solve eukaryotic protein structures, particularly medically relevant proteins, through our Online Structure Request System for Researchers. They have solved many community-nominated targets and deposited information about these targets in public databases and published on our investigations and findings. Sponsors: CESG is supported by NIH / NIGMS Protein Structure Initiative grant numbers U54 GM074901 and P50 GM064598.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on January 11, 2023. The Case Comprehensive Cancer Center''s Biorepository and Tissue Processing Core Facility (BTPC) serves two primary functions: 1. To build an inventory of remnant human tissues, blood and other body fluids (collectively termed biospecimens) targeted towards cancer and other medical research, for later assignment to investigators; and 2. To provide long term, controlled storage of biospecimens for specific researchers. These samples are for research purposes only and may not be used for clinical diagnosis or implantation into humans. Clinical information relating to the samples and donors are collected and maintained in a secure database. Samples and data are de-identified or de-linked before release to the researcher unless he/she has specific IRB approval to gain access to this information. Remnant biospecimens are prospectively collected from surgical procedures, autopsies and clinical laboratories for the BTPC by the Human Tissue Procurement Facility (HTPF), which operates under UH-IRB Protocol 01-02-45. Blood and bone marrow specimens are collected for the BTPC by the Hematopoietic Stem Cell Core Facility (HSCC), which operates under UH-IRB Protocol 09-90-195. The Division of Surgical Pathology at University Hospitals Case Medical Center (UHCMC) has clinical archives of paraffin blocks that can be made available through the BTPC for retrospective research studies under the approval of the Vice Chair for Clinical Affairs at UHCMC. Surgical Pathologists associated with the BTPC are responsible for determining which blocks can be made available and how much material can be removed from the blocks. Types of Tissue Available * Malignant, benign, diseased, normal and normal human tissues * Normal adjacent tissues available paired with tumor specimens in many cases * Tissues are collected from over 50 anatomic sites * Frozen specimens, OCT-embedded and paraffin-embedded tissues * Large array of paraffin-embedded specimens from clinical archives of paraffin blocks and QC research blocks maintained by the HTPF * Peripheral blood and bone marrow samples from initial visits and follow-up procedures are processed to obtain serum and cell fractions for storage * No samples are collected from individuals with known infectious illnesses * Fetal biospecimens are not collected due to state and local statutes

The HTRN biospecimen bank is comprised of samples for the Ohio State University Cancer and Leukemia Group B Pathology Coordinating Office (CALGB-PCO) and the Ohio State University Midwestern Division of the Cooperative Human Tissue Network (CHTN). The CALGB-PCO banks biospecimens donated by patients enrolled in clinical trials. Samples can include tumor and normal tissue, plasma, serum, whole blood and white blood cells and urine. All of these samples are used later in correlative studies. The Midwestern Division of the CHTN stores a temporary biospecimen bank of tumor and normal tissue, tissue slides and paraffin embedded tissue blocks for research investigators throughout the country and Canada who are trying to find a cure for cancer. As part of the HTRN biospecimen bank, a Rees Scientific equipment monitoring system helps to secure the integrity and quality of samples stored in the biorepository. Scientific research within the HTRN is currently underway to determine the best methods in tissue storage for long term use. The NCI First-Generation Guidelines for NCI-Supported Biorepositories and the NCI Best Practices for Biospecimen Resources are continuously reviewed and adapted by the HTRN.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on May 4th,2023. Brain Tumor Research Center Tissue Bank began collecting tissue in 1978 and has established an organized repository of characterized tissues--frozen, paraffin-embedded, blood and cultures--that are maintained in a manner useful for a wide range of studies. Samples are collected only from patients who have agreed to have their tissues banked and used for future research. Consent documents are maintained in a secure area and associated clinical data are held in a double-password protected computer database. Each sample received into the Tissue Bank is non-identifying number. No protected health information (PHI) is released. To obtain samples, investigators submit a request form to the Manager. The request form requires an explanation of the tissue requested (type, number of samples, justification), description of the study, CHR approval (see new policy regarding human vs. non-human research) and Project Leader authorization. The Manager reviews each request for feasibility before presentation to the Scientific Core Committee. The UCSF Neurosurgery Tissue Bank makes its inventory of stock cell lines available to all investigators. Requested cells are grown in T-25 flasks and shipped FedEx Priority Overnight at the receipient's expense. However, if you prefer, we can ship the frozen cells, packed in dry ice. (Note: some countries restrict dry ice shipments.)
